During the period between 1890 and 1905, Canada underwent significant transformations in daily life, largely due to industrialization. Streets, previously dominated by pedestrians, began to accommodate cars, and innovations like water fountains made public spaces more convenient.
Streets were now used for cars
previously people would walk on them
since sidewalks weren't invented
Water fountains were invented so
people were able to take a drink outside
Working on a farm without machines
It soon became too tiring for people to work
knowing others can just sit down and do nothing
so they started to look for other jobs.
Richer families would buy machinery for their
farms increasing efficiency and making it much easier on themselves. Poorer people would put sweat and blood into their work making it continue to be difficult for them.
Farm life became easy but expensive
Before industrialisation, farm life took extremely hard work to accomplish, but after machines for farming were invented it became easy but some of the poorer families couldn't afford it staying behind in the slow old fashion way.
It did have it's downsides like tiring out horses making it a part time thing but people already used horses for transportation so it didn't make much of a difference
Industrialization and its impact on the people of Canada
Manufacturing became a big thing with machinery making most products
Cars were made by machines making it safer for men to work
Clothing started to become slightly more automated
Sweatshops, places with poor working conditions, were growing overtime
Child labour also became popular with children under 16 working for multiple hours a day with a lower pay check than adult woman at the time.
In the 1900s sweatshops were becoming extremely common and good working conditions seemed to be distant. This mainly affected woman and children with men usually having decent working conditions.
